Our plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
A tank that leaks at the base, a relief valve pipe that drips or a shower that never warms up all point to the water heater. We repair, replace and install tank and tankless units.
Drain cleaning
Sinks, tubs, showers and floor drains that empty slowly or not at all get cleared, from a single fixture up to the main drain that every other drain runs into.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Water that shows up on a ceiling, a basement wall or a lawn has a source somewhere else. Leak detection traces it, whether it runs under a slab, inside a wall or along the yard line.
Sewer line repair
A camera shows what is wrong inside the sewer lateral. Then the line is cleared of roots, patched at the break or replaced, depending on what the video shows.
Repiping and water lines
Supply pipes can be replaced for the whole house or for one section, and the water service line that brings water in can be replaced as well.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
When a toilet, faucet, shower valve or disposal has a worn part, we replace the part, and when the whole fixture is worn out, we replace that instead.
Who licenses plumbers in Westchester
New York State issues no plumber license. In Westchester County the license comes from the county, under its plumbing licensing law.
The County Board of Plumbing Examiners issues the master plumber license, and it carries no restriction on where in the county the holder works: any city, town or village is covered. Applicants need ten years of experience under a licensed master plumber.
Support for the County Plumbing Board comes from the county’s Department of Consumer Protection, whose website also has a Trade Licenses Search.
Who files plumbing paperwork in White Plains
At the Department of Building, plumbing applications may only be submitted by a licensed Westchester County Master Plumber. That plumber, or a certified journeyman, has to be present for all plumbing inspections.
Plumbing work in the city follows the International Plumbing Code and the White Plains Supplemental Building Code.
The sewer lateral on your property
White Plains puts the sewer lateral on the owner. The pipe from the house to the public sewer main is the sole responsibility of the private property owner for all required maintenance, repairs and replacement.
Sewer line repair on this site covers the camera inspection, root and break repair, and full replacement of that lateral.

Our process
Call and describe the problem
Phone us with the details, such as where the leak, backup, dead heater or broken fixture is and when it began. The call is free.
Hear your options
You hear what the repair or replacement involves, and what each choice means for the pipes and fixtures involved, before you agree to anything.
The work gets done
Once you are happy with the plan, the plumber carries out the repair or installation you agreed to.
Free plumbing tools
You can try five plumbing tools for free. A tank owner can size a heater with the size calculator or date one with the serial number decoder. The freeze risk checker scores a pipe’s exposure by its location. The tankless flow calculator sizes a unit for the hot water you need. The sewer line age checker rates a lateral by house year. Each of those three can be set to White Plains.
Frequently asked questions
Who licenses plumbers here?
Westchester County does. The state issues no plumber license, so the county master plumber license is the one that covers plumbing work in White Plains and every other place in the county.
Do I have to hire a licensed plumber?
Yes, for work that needs a permit. Westchester law requires that the plumber you hire holds a valid county plumbing license and certificate of competency.
Can I try the tools before I call?
Yes, they cost nothing, and the ones that take a town open on White Plains by default.
Is freezing a risk for pipes in White Plains?
Yes. White Plains has about 87 days a year at 32°F or lower, with January nights averaging near 25°F. That puts pipes in outside walls and garages at risk.
